O/T. The Government's handling of Covid

[ramAnag]

But, you seem to imply that it's simple to get things right. Will you agree with me that the Welsh labour run government have made a right mess of things, which ultimately comes back to Starmer?

You find one example of me implying that ‘it’s simple to get things right’ and I’ll apologise immediately.
I know it isn’t ‘simple’ and I’ve never suggested it is.
As regards Wales...I don’t know what’s going on. All infectious illnesses tend to thrive in poorer areas and places like the Welsh Valleys and some coastal towns in the North are amongst the poorest places in the UK. You also have, in Holyhead, I think the second biggest lorry port in the UK so maybe we are seeing the Kent situation replicated.
I repeat for the ump****th time. Unlike the Brexit situation my stance isn’t about politics it’s about leadership. Whichever way you look at it Johnson is now following the advice he scoffed at from Starmer in last week’s PMQ’s. Even on here MA was describing what was happening in Holland and it was well known that the situation was worsening in places like Germany and Italy but, yet again, our Government dithered and didn’t act decisively. The result? Millions of people inconvenienced and disappointed along with Christmas Day chaos.

Whats happening in Wales is they've ****ed it up, not especially because they are incompetent but because they are going up a massive learner curve with an adversary that from minute one had well and truly got them by the gaunards. The only thing I'd in particular knock them for is trying too hard to be a country as opposed to a big county within England, I think they've differentiated for the sake of it too much. For all her smooth delivery, Scotland have ****ed up too, the Scots certainly think so inasmuch as the opinion now broadly runs down the same line as the independance debate.

BUT, the UK govt have got 20 times the complexities and I don't think they've made 20 times the ****up, some's been a disaster but there's been some genuine brave thinking going on, I would say my particular area of expertise is round finance and its taken my breath away at times. I actually think cancelling Christmas was supreme decisiveness based on suddenly deteriorating circumstances, I often look back at any analogy I can draw with my own life and of the ones I can recall I have done EXACTLY the same, I'm not gonna bore y'all with the details.
